Wow! Just wow, I'm not sure the right words exist to really describe how lazy ass that looked.
Not sure I really want to imagine how Coach Babcock would react to something like that, it would probably be traumatic

Pooor effort by the Caps. And they're running neck and neck with us for the LEAD of the NHL.

They have 2 more wins than us, and 5 more points, but they've played 3 more games. We have won more games than anyone else at this point. Of 17 games, we have 12 wins. In the west, Vancouver has 12 wins, with 20 games.

And yet, the hockey media constantly mentions Green as a Norris candidate. I don't get it.

His defense of late has been way sub-par. Maybe spending too much time taking photo shoots for girly magazines and not practicing.

I still think he should have won the Norris when he was nominated as a finalist for it. He made a few highly publicized errors but his defense was pretty sound. Watching him this season, he just sucks so far.
